Key West Wedding Planner... Help!!!

Hello! I'm a newbie to this site... but I like what I'm finding so far! My fiance and I will be getting married in Key West August 10, 2012. I spent several hours researching a wedding planner. Either my wedding was too small or they just didn't seem interested in helping me. The ceremony will only involve me and my fiance. We will have 5 guests and we will go to a restaurant afterward and a pub crawl to follow.

My question... how long do I wait to hear back from the wedding planner I have chosen to use? I have not given him any money yet... but it has been almost 5 days since I've heard from him. I asked him a simple question about what photographers he uses and he sent me a one sentence email that "he will get back to me." I understand that he has other clients that he also needs to help. Do I wait it out or look elsewhere?

You might give that planner another day or two to get back to you with an intelligent reply. They may be super busy this week-- who knows, but if you do not get a satisfactory reply soon, I would go on to another planner. it is true, some of the bigger planners will not take you on, being such a small group, in turn with a small commission, but there are plenty who would love the opportunity. Your planner has to be on your team 100%. You don't want the frustration of dealing with someone who is not there for you and on top of things.
